If you follow Ali Edwards or Cathy Zielske, you’ve seen how they use self portraits to document their everyday lives in their scrapbooks.  Ali uses this technique throughout her “Week in the Life” and
Project Life” albums.  She takes photos of herself working in her studio, taking a coffee break, sitting on the floor with her children, and even driving her car.  With a webcam, camera timer, or her iphone, she frequently includes self portraits in her layouts.

Would you like to learn how to take creative self portraits?  Are you like many scrapbookers who tend to be the family photographer, but often don’t include enough photos of ourselves in your albums?  The Digital Photography School, one of my favorite websites for learning photography, has just released a new ebook that will teach you techniques to create beautiful self portraits.

I’ve recommended DPS’s ebooks before.  They are very high quality, a great value, and written by experts in the field of photography.  The Art of Self-Portraiture is written by Anna Gay and offers 52 pages of advice, insight and techniques for beginning a journey into self-portraiture.

I read this book yesterday, and can’t wait to try out some of the techniques Anna demonstrates.  You don’t have to be a skilled photographer to take self-portraits.  She shows you everything you need to know to tell your story through self-portraiture.  I can see creating an entire album of these photos!

I love how she teaches how to use lighting to express moods and feelings, how composition can reveal your personality, and how focus can highlight your passions.  She even provides 52 themes for self portraits to get you started on this new photographic journey of self-discovery and creativity.

For a limited time The Art of Self-Portraiture is only $14.99 – $5 off the cover price.  This is an introductory price, so don’t wait long to make your purchase (offer ends May 31).  You also will have a chance to win an IPAD 2!  DPS offers a 60-day guarantee.  If you’re not satisfied, you can get a full refund.

What is a project 365 scrapbook огромное порно онлайн порно трансексуалы

?  Well, the idea has been around awhile, but basically you take a photo a day for an entire year and put all the photos into one album.  There are a few reasons why this concept has caught on so well.  In fact, it’s so popular that Creating Keepsakes Kit of the Month for January featured a specially designed Project 365 album, and it sold out in just hours on the first day it was released.

Why Is Project 365 So Popular?

1. You document every day for the entire year in one photo album creating a Year in Review scrapbook.
2. Finding something to photograph every day makes you look even closer at the ordinary events in your life.
3. You’ll miss less of those “I wish I had my camera” moments, because photographing every day means your camera will always be handy and ready to shoot.
4. You’ll finally learn to use more than just the automatic settings on your camera.
5. Taking more photographs will make you a better photographer.  You’ll start to see photographic opportunities all around you.
